lyrics

Verse 1:
There he goes, a strong young man to fight for his land
It's all that matters to him
Tears were shed the day he walked out the door but none
compared to the day his nation would win
Chorus:
(Look at that patriot, he would die for us)
Oh but his heart is bigger than his brain; he's in over his head
(Look at that patriot, our pride and joy)
Oh do you take pride in another land's bane and leaving people for dead?
Verse 2:
He's on the news, his weapon in hand, a badge on his shoulder
Displaying the honor of doing his deed
His mother and father are proud to tears, "he's fighting for our freedom"
Did you know you're already free?
Chorus 2:
(Look at that patriot, he fights for us)
Oh but his arms are bigger than his mind, he knows not what he does
(Look at that patriot, our pride and joy)
Oh do you find joy in temporary peace by turning the world to dust?
<Guitar solo>
Verse 3:
"It is done," so our hero says, "we took 'em down
and we burned them to the ground"
Chorus 3:
(Look at that patriot, he fought for us)
Oh don't you see he's just another pawn fighting for nothing at all?
(Look at that patriot, our pride and joy)
Oh the only thing joyful is that he's back in one piece. And pride will be our fall
